Now that Kadair's closed, is there any good printers in BR for same day service?

I am not talking about Walmarks or Walgreens, they produce horrible prints and cannot even print 3:2 ratio.

I've had prints done at Walgreens and CVS in the past (up here) and always had good luck. But I was printing on standard sizes (5x7, 8x10). Is there something I should know about drug store printing or are they okay for standard stuff? Prices (with coupon) were really quite good for same day printing, IMO.

Thats the problem, WM and WG's print 8x10, not 8x12 (3:2 ratio like most images are taken), so it cuts off some of the image.

Plus, their print quality is just poor.

It's not the answer to your question, but have you tried mpix? They have good quality, and deliver super quick.

Check out Sam's. I used to spend hundreds of dollars and larger prints until I started using Sams. 11X14's are about 3 bucks. Just look through the prints before you pay.

I found Adoramapix better then mpix. I have used both.

IMO, but now that Kadair's is closed, online is by far your best bet if you're not set up to do your own prints.

Walgreens/CVS is fine for like wallet pictures or tackboard pictures etc, but if you're looking to put up some quality wallhangers you'll be disappointed with their quality and consistency I think.

Try Alla's on Industriplex Blvd.
Have not used them yet but some serious amateurs and professionals I work with get good results. I've seen their work and agree.
